Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hi Everyone, I am headed off to the hospital tonight (5pm) to be admitted for my induction tomorrow. I will start the gels tonight since I still am not dilated at all and my OB says he will call the hospital around 6 tomorrow morning to start the pitocin. The ultrasound test show baby Hannah is doing well, she is still head down, heart rate is fine (157bpm) and her movement is still great, but my amino fluid is still low at a 6. Since we are inducing on a Wednesday that will bring me to officially 39 weeks so I feel pretty good that we are only pushing this one week early. My arthritis and fibromyalgia has really been flaring bad this last week and that is why my perinatologist wants to go ahead with this a bit early. I so have appreciated all the support I have gotten from everyone both on the list and privately. I can go into this feeling that I am well informed regarding my choice to breastfeed even though I have to take medications for my diseases, and well informed as to what to expect with induction and the possibility of a c-section. Without all of you who took the time to share your knowledge and experience with me, I would (nor my husband) not feel as calm as I do about all of this, especially since we are doing this all without any family or friends here to support us. Thank you all so very much! If all go as planned I should be home sometime Friday and hopefully my hubby will get a chance to post some pics and an update for me this weekend.
